Synopsis (short abstract) This policy brief presents the results of a multistakeholder policy dialogue process led by the Cambodia Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Intensification Consortium (CASIC) with technical support from FAO's Office of Innovation (OIN) in the framework of the EU-funded TAP-AIS project. A series of policy dialogue events, organized from April through September 2022, brought together local and national stakeholders, including farmers and their organizations, private sector businesses, government officials, NGOs, development partners and more, to discuss key issues and potential solutions to promote the expansion of conservation agriculture in Cambodia. Conservation agriculture is an agroecological approach to farming that reduces land degradation and improves yields over time and thus has the potential to decrease poverty and improve long-term environmental and social sustainability of farming systems. This brief provides background information on the development and local experiences with conservation agriculture in Cambodia, outlines major obstacles to the expansion of conservation agriculture and concludes with a list of actionable, bottom-up recommendations to promote conservation agriculture in Cambodia.

    This brief gives an overview of the TAP-AIS project in Cambodia, implemented from January 2020 to December 2022. At the country level, the TAP-AIS project works to strengthen capacities to innovate and the innovation policy environment. In Cambodia, the project strengthened the capacities of three key institutions to innovate: the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI), Cambodia Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Intensification Consortium (CASIC) and the Department of Extension for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DEAFF). Highlights, lessons learned and ways forward from the capacity development interventions with these three organizations are presented in this brief for interested stakeholders to learn from the project and build on its achievements.

    Agriculture in Eastern Europe and Central Asia is diverse, and has great potential to revitalize the economy of the countries in the region via improved productivity (efficiency) and higher total yield for food, fodder and fibre crops. Conservation agriculture can rise to the major challenge of making sustainable intensification of production systems a reality. In order for farmers to transition to appropriate sustainable production systems, the provision of an adequate enabling environment and access to knowledge and services, including extension, mechanization, inputs and market intelligence, are crucial. This Guide is designed to provide coherent technical tools to Farmer Field Schools and extension service facilitators of conservation agriculture. Furthermore, the Guide is suitable for use within universities’ agriculture curricula.
